Surrey Police have warned road users about the dangers of not looking before manoeuvring after sharing a video of a car colliding with an ambulance.
The clip shows a car turning right into the path of an oncoming ambulance which crashes into a lamppost as it tries to avoid the collision.
Officers implored drivers to take care pointing out the possible consequences if the ambulance had been a biker.
In a message poster on Twitter, Surrey’s Road Policing Unit said: “The footage clearly shows how poor some motorists (sic) observations are – imagine the consequences if the ambulance had been a biker.
“Don’t glance – look before any manoeuvre.”
